Warren Smith JP, Her Majesty’s Lord
Lieutenant
of
Greater
Manchester, presented Metalube Ltd
with a Queen’s Award for Enterprise in
International Trade.
The Lord Lieutenant was welcomed and
thanked by Metalube’s founder and
managing director, David Lee, who said
what a proud day it was for him and the
company.
Mr Lee also thanked all the Metalube
employees for their hard work and
commitment to the company. He
conveyed how pleased he was to
welcome members of the team to Irlam
from China, Brazil, India, Hong Kong
and Malaysia.
The company is very much a family
business with three sets of fathers and
sons amongst the team working for
them – and this was apparent at the
ceremony, with three generations of
various families there to witness the
proud ceremony.
The company’s Indian operation has
progressed well since its inception in
September 2011, winning both new
businesses and retaining existing
customers.
Due to this success, two new
members have recently been added to
the Metalube India team: application
engineers Prashant Sharma resp-
onsible for Northern India, and Chirag
Mhatre for Western India. The process
of building ‘team India’ will continue as
Metalube grows, with the company
strategy to appoint locally based
engineers in the key Indian markets.
Amit
Gupte,
general
manager,
Metalube India, said: “The company is
providing total lubrication management
and support to all its customers, both
in the field of copper and aluminium
wire drawing applications. We maintain
sufficient
stock
of
Metalube’s
Lubricool, Alumol and Inoxol range to
meet any immediate customer
requirements.”
He added: “I’d like to welcome
on-board our two new application
engineers and with their support we
look forward to growing the Metalube
India business even further in
2013/14.”
Based in Irlam, Greater Manchester,
Metalube also has offices in China,
India and Brazil.
